Cash Balance in Portfolio View

JayDei

Using Q-Mac, I ran across a problem of the cash balance not showing up in the portfolio report. This isn't usually a problem since TD Ameritrade moves the cash to a money market fund right away. I had a situation where a dividend occurred on the last day of the month and it wasn't moved to the MM account until the next day so the cash was still in the account at the end of the month. Anyway, the cash amount didn't show up in the portfolio view and thus the account total didn't agree with my statement. After a lot of searching, I discovered that I needed to select "Portfolio Value" instead of "Performance" in the Portfolio view for the cash amount to show up (again, this is using Quicken-Mac). I found it in https://community.quicken.com/discussion/7909125/how-to-report-cash-balances-of-brokerage-accounts. Hopefully this will eliminate a lot of searching for someone.
